METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC ENCRYPTION AND DECRYPTION OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION

摘要

The method is for encryption and decryption of electronic communication. A monitoring module (12) in an operating system of a first communication device (10) is provided. A sender (52) sends an electronic message (50) addressed to a receiver (56) of a second communication device (54). The monitoring module (12) intercepts the message (50) and sends a request signal (28) to a database module (16). The database module (16) monitors a secured list (30) and sends back a positive signal (33) when the receiver (56) is on the list (30). The monitoring module (12) sends an encryption request (36) to an encryption/decryption module (14). The encryption/decryption module (14) encrypts the message (50) and returns an encrypted message (60). The encrypted message (60) is sent as a communication signal (62) to the second communication device (54).
